My Bongo arrived at DuBaldo's yesterday and is now on it's way to me.

Big Big thanks to Pete...

First time I see a LE2008 Bongo. Looks wonderful!

Oh My. Congrats Bryan.

Thanks.

After showing no tracking updates since Saturday, the UPS site is finally showing those three magic words...OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!

 

[bovinehost]

My favorite two-word phrase in the English language is, "Yes, Jack."

But for a three-word phrase, it's hard to beat, "Out for Delivery".

 

[timmy5strings]

How about " Sign here please"

How about " Sign here please"

I wish...my UPS driver doesn't even bother to knock on the door.

It's here!!! I'm waiting for a set of EB straplocks, but I'm not going to be able to resist taking it to rehearsal tonight.

 

[fogman]

I'm loving that colour more and more as i see it

Thanks...and it looks even better in person. I'm not going to try and take any pics of it myself because I think that Pete's pics are a pretty close representation, but like I said...it looks even better in person.

Also, I just plugged it into my Markbass rig and I only have two words for it...Tone Monster.

To Lord Bongo and all the Bongoloids...I'm a believer.

Congrats on the new 6er. I like that finish for Bongos, but why aren't the knobs gold like my SR5? Just wondering...

 

[bigvissch]

Knobs on all Bongos are plastic.

I suspect mainly because they have ganged pots for the tone controls. That'd be harder to achieve in metal. I am making an educated guess here though. The plastic would also assist in keeping the weight down (a little) which is a feature of the Bongo.

Of course.. all speculative.

Not plastic...

But not standard either...probably would be more cost involved in making them gold.

I, for one, am glad the knobs on mine are black.
